SINGAPORE, Feb 24 — A man who filmed a 16-year-old student engaging in a private act in a mall toilet cubicle was sentenced to six months’ jail on Saturday (Feb 21), after a district judge dismissed his defence that he was gathering “evidence” of littering.
CNA reported that Tan Wei Sien, a cleaner whose age was not disclosed, was convicted of voyeurism following a trial. The incident occurred at Causeway Point mall in Woodlands on the night of Oct 17, 2024.
The court heard that the victim, a Secondary 4 student in school uniform, had entered a toilet cubicle to eat a packet of rice. After his meal, he began engaging in a private act while watching videos on his phone.
His attention was drawn to a hand making a lewd gesture under the cubicle partition. The person in the next cubicle, later identified as Tan, also asked the boy if he “wanted or not”. Feeling harassed and uneasy, the victim made an online report to an anti-violence agency and left.
